Genesis 1:27-28,31 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
Genesis 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Genesis 2:7-8 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.
Genesis 2:19-20 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.
Genesis 2:21-23 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
When the Lord God created man, the female was inside him. The Lord God called him (them) ADAM. He then placed the man (Adam) in the garden and had him name all the animals which the Lord God brought to him (this indicates a passage of time. As the animals were brought to Adam (probably by two’s, male and female) but Adam was alone. So the Lord God put Adam to sleep and removed the “rib” (womb) from Adam and formed the wo(womb)man. When Adam awoke and the Lord God presented her to Adam, Adam called her wo(womb)man and Adam named her Eve.
Genesis 3:20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
